What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
All right, guys, it's July 1st, 2026. I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. And I should note, this is a slightly pre-taped episode because I'm getting stem cells in my shoulder right now. And just one other comment on that. Starting next week, I will wear jackets again. We're not just doing casual Fridays every day around here. It's just an extra step to get the arm in the jacket. After the stem cells, we're going to get back to it. Anyway, let's dive in. There's a lot to talk about. When we were doing yesterday's show, right at the end, I mentioned there were a whole bunch of Supreme Court decisions coming in. Obviously, they've had a few other things come out this week. I want to get you caught up.
on all of that. And then we're going to bounce around to a bunch of different stuff today. It's kind of a catch-all show. I think you'll enjoy it. I quite enjoyed the rundown. They're taking a picture of me right now. Why? I don't know. Let's start with this from SCOTUS Wire. The Supreme Court ruled that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship to children born in the United States. including those whose parents are in the country unlawfully or only temporarily striking down President Trump's executive order. So we've talked about this a bit yesterday, and we've talked about it before, obviously, birthright citizenship, the idea that quite literally, however you got to the United States, whether illegally, whether you're seven months pregnant and on vacation and give birth at Disneyland or anything else, that child born in the United States becomes a citizen.
It seems just, if you were just kind of giving it like a vague analysis, sort of ridiculous, right? Sort of ridiculous. You came here illegally and you get rewarded for it. Your mother came here illegally and you get rewarded for it, or you're on vacation, or we can think of a litany of other reasons that doesn't quite seem right. However, Trump tried to do something on it via executive action. The And as I often point out, you know, when the Supreme Court does not go in the direction that people on the right want, usually you're going to get some thoughtful analysis on it, not burn down the court, right? Democrats, every time they don't get what they want from the Supreme Court, what is it? It's a Trump court, and we've got to pack the court and burn it down.
Generally, on the right, you get more thoughtful analysis, right? So I'm going to show you two here. The first one's more political. The second one is more procedural. First from Stephen Miller, obviously White House spokesman Stephen Miller on the decision. One of the most destructive and outrageous decisions in the long history of the Supreme Court. American citizenship is not the birthright of the world. It belongs only and solely to Americans. No provision of the Constitution can be read to require our national self-obliteration. Okay, so that's sort of a political analysis, which I agree with, right? Like you It just simply does not make sense to me. So an illegal from Mexico who's eight months pregnant comes here and just has the baby here.
Why should that baby be an American, right? Or an illegal from Canada who comes in who's two months pregnant somehow gets through the northern border and just plops the baby down. And then we also know what happens once you have that. They call it the anchor baby because then people don't want to separate families and then kick out the illegal mother or the father or whoever else. So it becomes a huge thing.
What did the Supreme Court rule about birthright citizenship and why are conservatives outraged?
But his analysis there. But note, he didn't say he said it's a bad decision. He didn't say pack the court. He didn't say burn it down or anything else. Now, let me read Ron DeSantis's analysis, which was more judicial in nature. And I think, again, gets to the heart of why conservatives tend to not want to destroy everything just because it doesn't go in their direction. DeSantis wrote this. This was not a decision on procedural grounds. For example, POTUS can't do this through executive order, but Congress could legislate it.
